Deposit to a Ledger - Base Documentation

A deposit moves funds from Base into the ledger through the Portal contract. The asset, amount, and sender settle publicly on Base, but the recipient is encrypted, so many deposits to one account can’t be linked. See Private Transactions.

Demo

The demo above is mock only. If you want to see onchain demos on Vibenet, head to Base chain demos.

What’s Exposed Onchain

Data	Public?	Why
Asset	Public	The Portal settles the transfer on Base.
Amount	Public	The Portal settles the transfer on Base.
Sender	Public	The address that submits the deposit.
Recipient	Hidden	Encrypted so deposits to one account can’t be linked or attributed.

A deposit can also require an attestation or permission, for example to gate who can deposit.
